Tips For Perfect Pancakes

Pancakes are easy to make at home but with a few simple tips you can make them perfectly every time!

ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1 Tablespoon melted butter (plus some for the pan)

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.

Make a well and stir in the eggs and vanilla, adding the milk until just combined.

Tip #1: Melted butter adds a nice depth of flavor to make velvety pancakes. Stir it in at the end, right before you head to the griddle.

On medium to high heat, prep a griddle or skillet by greasing it with butter. Pour the batter into circles.

Tip #2: Wait. You’ll know when to flip the pancake once small bubbles appear in the batter and start to pop. Think of the bubbles as a timer.

Tip #3: If you flip the pancakes and get those awful dark circles around the edges with discolored centers, it’s because the heat is too high. This often happens with the first batch so simply turn down the heat. Pancakes should be evenly brown.

Tip #4: Don’t press. Much like you should never press a hamburger, the same goes for pancakes. Pressing down on them will deflate all that beautiful fluffiness.

With these little tricks pancakes will be a breeze to make and fun to eat any time of day!

    Wanna know a secret? I totally love when my pancakes are like the ones in your “bad” picture. It might be because I grew up with buttermilk pancakes, which are a totally different consistency than the doughier, regular pancakes. But I love those buttery, crispy edges.

    jami is exactly right! I love those “bad” pancakes and have never had one that looks like the “good” pancake that didn’t taste like a foam mattress
